The future of Mooney VR46 rider Bezzecchi is at the centre of the 2024 MotoGP rider mꦍarket - he has been told to choose between staying with Rossi’s squad or riding a latest-spec bike at Pramac.

Moo✨ney VR46 themselves are tied to Ducati next season but could relocate to Yamaha, where Rossi enjoyed his best days and who he currently represent🃏s as an ambassador, in 2025 meaning they could theoretically take Bezzecchi with them.

“Maybe yes, maybe no,” Ducati s𒉰porting director Paolo Ciabatti🍸 told . 

“Because right now, most riders want a Ducati. Because this is🅘 t🎀he best bike overall.

“🦂On the other hand, we do not know how the balance of power will develop in the future.

“Honda will improve next year, so will Yamaha. KTM already has t✃oo many riders. 

“But in 2025 Aprilia could also be intereste𒉰d in Bezzecchi. Who knows?”

Bezzecchi ⭕optinꦺg to use a 2024 Desmosedici next season as a Pramac Racing rider would remove any worry that he could be tempted to Yamaha alongside his mentor Rossi, should VR46 seek a new factory in 2025.

Bezzecchi mu🐻st decide “between now and the Austrian GP” on August🦂 18-20, Ciabatti confirmed.

But he said: “Things can change. But as it stands at the moment Marco will have to switch to Pramac if he wants a GP24.&n𓄧bsp;

“But if he prefers to stay with his VR46 team, we will do everything we can to put him in the 🗹pits with the best possible 2023 bike.

“Bezzecchꩵi has already won two grands prix in 2023﷽. He is only six points short of second place in the World Championship.

“In this world, things can change quickly. In ꦏtwo weeks everything might look different. 

“But we can offer Marco a GP24 at Pramac today.&♋nbsp;

“If he prefers to stay with VR46, we will support him in the best possible way because he des🎶erves it.&n🎃bsp;

“But we can't equip a fifth factory rider.”

Ducati’s factory pair Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianinꦐi, plus Pramac’s Jorge Martin and Johann Zarco, profit from the latest-spec machinery.

Bezzecchi has become a priority for Ducati after a breakthrough half-season where he has emerged as a genuine title co𝄹ntender.

“Marco Bezzecchi is young, he iಞs only contestin🥂g his second MotoGP season, but he is always at the forefront,” Ciabatti said. 

“So it lo🀅oks like he's made some progressive evoluti🎐on as a rider. 

“That's why he deserves that we find a solution for him before we think about dr꧒ivers like Zarco, Franco Morbidelli or any other rider.”
